If you are really honest, you could ask yourself the following questions:
1. Is there a good chance I'll actually read what I buy, within 5 years?
At this time, reading is my primary hobby. If I had been 67 and not working anymore, I'd probably read an entire 300 page book a day.

Here's the problem and why many of us are on this list. It isn't whether you will get a chance to read them in 5 years. Your tastes change in 5 years and maybe these books won't interest you as much in 5 years, when you get to them, as they do today. If you blow it, you don't want to blow it on a book you paid nearly full price for. I'm getting better. If I ignore the books bought during the 90% off coupon frenzy, I've purchased a lot fewer books this year than last, but could buy fewer still. I put my annual goal at 120 books a year because it is a stretch for me to read that many.
